Compelling Circumstances?

13th December 2018

I often come across youngsters who don’t realise that they’re actually constantly in a transitional phase in their lives, something which they tend not to realise as they believe that all these transitions are temporary. They believe that one day it’ll all be behind them and they’ll “have it together” as many of them like to say.

The truth is that it never ends – there will always be something to have to deal with, constituting what are often referred to as compelling circumstances. There are so many examples I can go through and all of them lead to just one outcome, which is that of the regret of not having taken that one step you knew you should have probably taken when the inclination to do so first hit you.

Google was around when I was a young adult, along with many of the other tech innovations we take for granted today, so I know all about things like Google’s earn-per-click advertising programme. The good thing about that is that about ten years ago I decided to actually get in on the action and start publishing some content which could be monetised via the ads, but that was after an initial period of a decade had gone by, bringing about some regret of not having taken action back then. It’s just one of those “take action RIGHT NOW” scenarios, because the time will never be better.

The stars will never align perfectly, even though it may appear as if they eventually will and the timing of the elements of life actually gets worse and worse as the time rolls by – never better. The only instance in which it gets better is if you’ve already taken the requisite action, such as how if you haven’t started saving up via a savings scheme that offers you compounding interest there is no better time to start than right now, but if on the other hand you’ve already started then it only gets better and better for you as time goes by.

Life is nothing but a collection of compelling circumstances or a string of events which come with compelling circumstances. All we really need to do is wake up to that fact and even those of us who like to take refuge in the apparent fact that our lives couldn’t be more ordinary will get tested at some point in our lives to the point that we have to dig deep. Only then do you realise that you do indeed have some compelling circumstances which could work in your favour.

In a very motivated attempt at sorting out an immigration issue which could otherwise have you separated from your loved ones for example, your collaboration with a Los Angeles immigration attorney would do very well to demonstrate to you that you do indeed have some compelling circumstances to use to your advantage.

So don’t wait for the time to be “right.” It has never been better.

Whatever it is you want to do as part of your life, start with it in some way, right now!
